Description

Flete House occupies an elevated position in one of the most beautiful estates in the West Country. Immaculate gardens surround the house, the Italian garden provides a formal setting with statuary amongst a rose garden and central pond with fish, beautiful ancient trees grace the lawns below, and the water garden is more informal for a peaceful interlude tucked away.

The oak panelled front door opens onto a vestibule with steps down to an inner hall. There is hanging space for coats and a useful space for upright fridge/freezer and storage. Access to roof void.

INNER HALL

Has built in floor to ceiling cupboards with a central display area which has an attractive Turkish marble shelf. Doors lead off to:

An elegant room of impressive proportions with mullioned windows (with their original working shutters) along one side facing east over the gardens and wooded hills beyond. The central feature is the large granite fireplace with its mosaic inserts and shelves to each side, and the ceiling has ornate coving. At the opposite end of the room there is a door where amongst the intricate carving one can see the initials of the Mildmay family. This door leads out into the main building on a level with the outside door to the east side of the garden. There are TV and telephone points and the radiator has its original cover with a slate top.

There is an inset stainless steel one and a quarter sink with central mixer tap. The hob is halogen. There are attractive built in wall and base storage cupboards with blue tiling between.

The room has space to be both bedroom and study and has plenty of floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes and shelves. There is coving and TV and telephone points.

Roses climb the granite walls and raised beds contain amongst other plants pieris, hydrangea, and azaleas. Bird feeders attract a great variety of wildlife such as spotted woodpeckers and nuthatches.
